Abstract: A method and system include capturing one or more process flow definitions that define, at least in part, a software application. One or more user interface definitions that define, at least in part, an interface to the software application are captured. One or more data definitions that define, at least in part, data used within the software application are captured. One or more rules for validating at least part of the software application are captured. A design definition is captured as a specification wherein the design definition includes: the one or more process flow definitions, the one or more user interface definitions, the one or more data definitions, and the one or more rules.

Abstract: A method and system of analyzing a software design includes receiving one or more specifications containing one or more design elements. One or more design elements not included in the one or more specifications are identified. One or more design elements not included in the one or more specifications are generated. The one or more generated design elements are added to the one or more specifications.

Abstract: A method and computer program product reads one or more specifications that define, at least in part, a software application. A data storage structure is generated for storing data of the software application. At least one unit of code is generated based, at least in part, upon one or more design elements within the one or more specifications. A first application is generated from the at least one unit of code and data storage structure.
